About 832nd Combat Support Group

The 832nd Combat Support Group was a United States Air Force unit activated in 1966 at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico. It was responsible for providing comprehensive support—such as logistics, civil engineering, security, and personnel services—to the 832nd Air Division’s flying and operational units. Throughout its service, the group played a crucial role in maintaining readiness and efficiency for tactical fighter operations during the Cold War. The unit remained active until it was inactivated in 1991 as part of an Air Force-wide reorganization.
